Anti-static Touch Pad

• Anti-static touch pads can be used to transfer electricity out of your body, reducing the chance of electric shock from static buildup. These can be picked up at any electronics store. The touch pad is connected to a piece of metal. While working on the computer, you touch the pad every few minutes to disperse the electricity.
  
  

Anti-static Wrist Strap

• Anti-static wrist straps are available at electronics stores and online for just a few dollars. These are used by wrapping the strap around your wrist and connecting the clip to a solid metal surface. The static electricity is automatically transferred through the wrist strap and out of your body. This will keep the static electricity from building up in your body, keeping you safe.
  
  

Humidifier

• Keep a humidifier running in the room containing the computer. Dry air promotes static electricity, making it important to introduce moisture into the air. A humidity level of 50 to 60 percent is suggested to avoid the collection of excess static electricity in both the computer and air. This method is best when used in combination with other suggested methods of diffusing static electricity.
  
  

Anti-static Spray

• Fabric softener is generally used to reduce static cling in clothing. This product can also be used to reduce static electricity in other materials, such as carpet. Fill a squirt bottle with half water and half liquid fabric softener and spray the mixture on the carpet throughout the room that contains the computer. This will keep you from conducting potentially hazardous static electricity as you walk through the room. You can also purchase an anti-static spray from most department stores.
